The Binding of Isaac’s huge new expansion, Afterbirth, is coming to PC on October 30, with a console release to follow. That’s according to the game’s creator, Edmund McMillen, who also claims the DLC adds “100+ hours” of gameplay.
Highlights include a “new way to play,” called Greed Mode, a new ending, and a daily challenge mode.
